Dear John Carroll Families,

I want to address the recent rumors and speculation regarding our skirt length policy.

All of our policies are rooted in our mission:

To educate young men and women in a welcoming, Catholic environment that fosters academic excellence, nurtures holistic integrity, and inspires Christ-like servant leadership. 

Here Is What You Need To Know:

• The current dress code policy remains in effect as outlined in the John Carroll Student Handbook.

• Dress code enforcement, in all areas, will be a major point of emphasis for our faculty and staff as we return to school.

• Any policy changes will be communicated well in advance and will account for the operational and financial realities our families face.

• We are committed to continuing dialogue with our students on policies that directly impact them.

Thank you for your trust and your partnership in the formation of our students. 

If you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Respectfully,

Coach Steele
